HOUSTON, September 25, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Wallis Bank, the Houston-based, full-service community bank, recently teamed up with the Walmart Supercenter on Westview Drive in Houston to donate school supplies to Westwood Elementary School, located in the Spring Branch Independent School District. Over $9,000 of supplies were donated, including backpacks, notebooks and more.
“We are thrilled to be able to give back to the schools in the communities that we serve,” stated Asif Dakri, Chief Executive Officer. It is our privilege to drop off our donations in person and to see the wonderful students who will be learning and growing throughout the year.”
The National Center for Children in Poverty estimate that there are over 3 million low-income children in Texas alone. Wallis Bank takes great pride in its community involvement, raising money and supplies annually for several local schools throughout the Houston area.
With close to 100 stores in Greater Houston, Walmart is committed to giving back to communities in which it serves. During its fiscal year 2019, Walmart stores, clubs, and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $117 million in cash and in-kind to Texas nonprofits.
